Wood Shop Destroyed By Fire At Slate Quarry * Pen Argyl

July 13, 1996|The Morning Call

Fire destroyed the wood shop at Anthony Dally & Sons slate quarry off Railroad Avenue in Pen Argyl early Thursday. There were no injuries.

It took fire crews two hours to put out the 6:45 a.m. fire, said Fire Chief Dean Parsons. The 20-by-40-foot shed was full of lumber and other flammable materials, creating a stubborn fire that was difficult to fight, Parsons noted.

The fire is still under investigation. Assisting Pen Argyl were fire and ambulance units from Wind Gap and Plainfield Township.
